1255 E Silver Springs Blvd Ocala, FL 34470

This 0.46-acre property presents a redevelopment opportunity on Silver Springs Boulevard. Formerly a Hess Mart gas station and convenience store, the site includes a 911-square-foot building with a 2906-square-foot canopy. The city supports redevelopment, and the seller can provide previously approved redevelopment plans for a drive-thru concept. According to the seller's understanding from the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the site has four closed-in-place underground storage tanks since 2013. The state accepted the site into the Early Detection Incentive (EDI) program and is performing tests and cleanup on a prior fuel discharge [Hess Station, FL DEP Facility ID# 42/8511379, Discharge Date 12/28/88]. Current testing and treatment are performed at the state's expense via monitoring and treatment injection wells. The state will continue treatments until remediation is complete. If the property owner decides to remove the building structure at the owner's expense, the state will pay to remove the tanks and contaminated soil, restore the land to its existing shape, and grant the owner permanent clean status. If the owner decides to keep the building in place, treatments will continue at the state's expense until remediated. The seller will provide the latest reports and facilitate contact with the appropriate state agency contacts for further information.
